Irelia's W Nerf

Hey so I'm having trouble with her recent nerf to her W that makes it so her passive doesn't stack twice with it in the jungle. It's what made her viable in the jungle to be able to get to max fervor stacks with mobs and I don't think I can play her effectively anywhere else but top now. I agree that she did need a nerf and I think she still needs nerfs, but I don't agree with this direction as it shoehorns her only into top lane. It's her ability to get kills even if she misses her important skill shots that make her awful to face currently and that's what needs to be addressed instead.

Too bad. She's viable top and mid. Champions aren't supposed to be viable in three different roles. That's why we have different champions at all.

Time to play a new jungler.

It is likely gone forever.

And we have no idea what Riot is changing in 9.2 on Irelia.

I've never seen her mid unless if it was an expert like faker. It doesn't make sense for them to let her stay mid and not jungle when she's clearly a bruiser and they belong in top and jungle though.
